Get ready to dive back into the high-octane world of John Wick! Lionsgate has just dropped the brand-new trailer for From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, the franchise’s first-ever spinoff movie coming this summer.
But hold on. Ballerina isn’t just a side story; it plunges us directly into the heart of the John Wick universe, specifically during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3. This means we’ll see familiar faces and experience the same pulse-pounding action that made the original films so beloved.
Ana de Armas takes center stage as Eve Macarro, a fierce and determined assassin-in-training. We’ll witness her journey as she immerses herself in the deadly traditions of the Ruska Roma. The trailer reveals a glimpse of her intense training and the dangerous world she navigates.
The stellar cast includes Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Norman Reedus. And for fans of the original series, Ian McShane and Keanu Reeves will reprise their iconic roles. This ensures that Ballerina feels authentically connected to the universe.
Len Wiseman, known for his work on the Underworld franchise and “Swamp Thing,” directs the film, bringing his signature visual style. Shay Hatten, who penned John Wick: Chapter 3, returns to write the screenplay, ensuring a seamless continuation of the franchise’s narrative.
Ballerina expands the John Wick Cinematic Universe, building on the foundation laid by the original films. The ever-expanding universe also includes “The Continental: From the World of John Wick,” a spinoff television series that premiered on Peacock in 2023.
Watch the trailer below and prepare for some seriously brutal action. Ballerina opens in theaters on June 6, 2025. Before you head to theaters, re-watch John Wick: Chapter 4, streaming on Apple TV, Starz, and Roku.
